Good old Mexican food. Fast and pleasant. This is my favorite hidden place. Had lunch today and it was amazing. Went to Guadalajara yesterday and no comparison.

We love love love this great hidden gem! The other restaurants in the plaza are busy and nice in their own rights, but LaPlacita Cafe is... Great. They have an intimate setting, and the Mole' Negro is just like the dishes I ate in Puebla, Mexico!!! The service is excellent, the food authentic, the parking is generous, and a special benefit: The owners are fun and have a great sense of humor! Even the menu exemplifies the cool humor of the establishment. I'm a giant fan of the real Mole', but we've also delighted in many other meals!

Our group was very happy with their choices. We had separate checks and they prefer that we pay in cash to make it easier on the server. Our server was very good and I believe everyone felt well care for. We'll be back.
